A Genesee County teen has been accused of raping several children last spring.

Leonard E. Hahn IV, 17, of Le Roy is facing three counts of first-degree rape between several sexual encounters with young girls in Genesee and Wyoming counties last year, said Attica Police Chief Dean Hendershott. Hahn's arrest stemmed from a joint investigation by Attica police officers and Genesee County sheriff's deputies after a girl told a school official about an encounter with Hahn.

All of the girls involved were younger than 11, he said.

Hendershott said Hahn is accused of raping at least three girls, two in Attica (in April and May) and one in Alabama, Genesee County, in April. He faces first-degree rape charges in both counties, Hendershott said.

Officers did not share details on any of the incidents, given the nature of the crimes.

"Additional victims came forward" during the months-long investigation, Hendershott said, adding that police continue to investigate. Anyone with knowledge of any girls who had a sexual encounter with Hahn is asked to call 911.

Hahn last week was arraigned in Attica Village Court and was returned to the Genesee County Jail, where he was already being held on $25,000 cash bail or $50,000 bond for the Genesee County rape charge. Hendershott said the courts added bail at $100,000 cash or $200,000 bond to the tab, should Hahn post bail to leave the Genesee County Jail.
